Why ragwort is a problem in Sutton Coldfield
On Sutton Coldfield properties, ragwort poisonous to horses and cattle, and liver damage accumulates whether the plant is grazed fresh or baled into hay. Around Sutton Park and the town centre, Sutton Coldfield's mix of gardens, riverbanks, railway corridors and development plots gives invasive and persistent weeds plenty of disturbed ground to colonise, and infestations regularly cross property boundaries across West Midlands.
